While the FAA said the ground stops are expected to be lifted by 10pm ET, delays are expected throughout the night.

Sorry to disappoint the Putlerists here who were rooting for a cyberattack by Russia.

From United ...

Due to a technology issue, we are holding United mainline flights at their departure airports. We expect additional flight delays this evening as we work through this issue. Safety is our top priority, and we’ll work with our customers to get them to their destinations.

If weight and balance are a problem, have each passenger step onto the suitcase scale at the counter. They can always kick the fat passengers off a flight to wait for a later flight.

Good post. You sound like a person who sees the dangers in relying on interlinked computers for the power grid, water supply, sewer system, phones and nearly everything else.

Me, too.

Example: Foreign countries such as China have tested remotely hacking and shutting down and rapidly turning back on a couple of US towns’ water systems. If done for real someday it would blow out a large machine that couldn’t be replaced for months and has to be transported across a highway to get there. Meanwhile, no water, or no sewer system treatment for weeks or months. With disastrous results.

What the neck is going on with the airlines? Are we being hacked? This is the third one, isn’t it?

Whatever it was, it looks like United fixed it. I just checked in for a flight tomorrow.

United merged with Continental.
United sucked then and still does.
Continental was a well run airline.

I miss Continental.

You and mucus would do well to stop posting mocking articles about problems in The Russia, chickie.

It seems it backfires on us over here.

Now you’re making threats against the US because we post anti-Russia stories?

mucus posted about Russian egg shortages, and WE ended up with an egg shortage. mucus posted about Russian floods, and WE ended up with floods.

You posted about Aeroflot problems, and WE ended up with an airline problem.

You two are albatrosses.

And you don't read for comprehension, apparently. You write fiction on FR.

Sobering. Let us know when you get out of jail and back into the “safe” freedom of the terminal.

How far fo you need to go?
